your statisice is bad for ALL .
CHINA is slow 7.6% to 8% chine have inflation ..(high) this is bad ..corruption ..market ..problem ( needed liberation)
but i think is good for the economy in china to have this slow'//// (manifactura ) be come very strong and will help very good the CHINESE economy (not only ) even a round in world .
needed to have transparence for good investiment ....Russia is very good in economy with a little problem with gas (gasprom ) is not good this timing because USA trying to play role in EU ..they trying to dominated with GER ..price gas .with carbohydrated they take from USA very cheap ..''check up ''...
Brasil is real in trouble ..why ? America doesn't like to have from south partner with Russia ..they are allways contrary ..So they bit with others ways ..(needed help)
LISTEN if you wanted my opinion about the social -capitalism (this countries ARE ) they needed very good corporation btw ..and very good study about the grow manifacture -infrastuchture and export gas natural with deal ..(deal prices.. ) DON'T LET USA to dominated when the biger exporter in gas is RUSSIA ..
they are smarter is good to be faster ...

WTO ..is move very small .will be most slowly 2014-15 ..this is real trouble
Michigan is example ..(they have much more )pension's for pay than workers ) ..
nothing invest ..nothing budget nothing corporation btw others state insight the sate USA ..
thank you nice article

Some thinking-out-of-the-box emergency criteria that might help prevent the Chinese economy from stalling in the mid or long term are: 1- Abandonment of the Command economy typical of totalitarian communism and adoption of an aggresive market-driven socially-focused inclusive economy. 2- Application of the bulk of the excess Chinese reserves to the acquisition of U.S. industrial equipment & technology and U.S. scientific, technological and administrative masters and doctoral education for a significant fraction their current and coming leaders. 3- Establishment of a private-public Partnership for Development between OECD member countries and developing countries in the Asia-Oceania North-South axis, operating through Development Consortia in each target country, controlled by the private sector, under Japanese leadership, and aimed at funding environmentally friendly direct investments, with both national and foreign capital, for profit, and bringing together the top Japanese broker dealer and other financial companies with their counterparts in the target countries, as well as target country government entities pertinent to holistic development with their multilateral counterparts to ensure the political support required for success. Of course, if one cannot see the Chinese ever accepting Japanese business leadership, or if one does not recognize an emerging long term international economic crisis, then more subttle or ingenious interventions, if any at all were deemed required by one, might suffice.

＂But many of the BRICS, along with some other emerging economies, may hit a thick wall, with growth and financial markets taking a serious beating＂：there are only five countries in BRICS, how "many" of them will hit a thick wall? Contrarian investmentors may take a cue from this article: it is probably right time to buy emerging economies.

There is nothing common in the ensemble coined 'Emerging market paradise', and each one is 'unhappy in its own way'. India for example, with all its potential in demographic 'dividends', is now trapped in a situation of high-inflation and current account deficit where most of the States are entrenched in a fiscally irresponsible quagmire, while the polity is engaged in a bickering where no policy can be actually implemented on the ground from land acquisition to mining or starting of new projects where approvals and clearances are needed from scores of government offices. The common man is reduced to a residual claimant of state subsidies and the diminished dignity of crossing the Poverty Line is lauded as an achievement where the 'line' itself is deplorable, such is the rigor of a morally demanding subsistence level of consumption in the country.

It behooves me once again to point out that the world is round and globalizing rapidly. Interdependence leads toward deterministic chaos and the greater and greater deviation from top-down first-order economic models and their relatively simple dynamics.

The only "economist" that will eventually be able to "say" anything reasonably meaningful at any realistic detail will be Global humanity itself if it can establish the correct human mutually responsible relationships to obtain a homeostatic mapping across the globe.

As is his wont, Prof. Roubini has drawn a morose picture in the BRICs topography, drawing graphically the structural vulnerabilties they are plagued with. In an inter-dependent world ever since Washngton Consensus was foisted on the rest of the world, the fragilities of individual economy--be it a developed, developing or emerging or the least developed ones-- are too glaring to be brushed aside. State capitalism has become fashionable even in advanced countries such as in the US and now in Europe where governments must perforce bail out crumbling financial institutions on the pretext of "too big to fail". One wonders whether any simple nostrum most of the nations enjoyed before world economic liberalisation could now be the panacea for all the ills plaguing the planet! Economists the world over including doomsday prophets of Prof.Roubini genre revel in diagnosis of maladies than plumping for remedies to bring a whiff of comfort to millions of people trying to eke out a measly existence in the face of the severest economic challenges confronting them! Troubles and negative tidings always make a dismal reading but they are no substitute for substantive and ground-level action by governments the world over which is unfortunately found wanting in terms of coordinated strategy to pep up sentiments and revive growth impulses from langushing or getting extingusihed!

While I have little concern about China's resilience after sustaining itself these past 5,000 years and its leadership from the top down scientists and engineers while the west wallows in dismal academic achievement and overall depravity, led by the self-serving interests by those "entrusted" to serve other than themselves, my concern about China stems from a 27th May confidential report which showed the largest ever recorded breach of US military secrets, the designs for more than two dozen major weapons systems including the Hornet fighter jet and the Black hawk helicopter. For many years, myself and so many others cautioned American officials that cyber security must be a priority, China continues to this moment in reaching into American technology and heisting its way to broadening its scope in arsenal....

Again, a WH so invested in its perverse and narrow minded perspective, divisive in every way with our White House Doors remaining Closed to our Kids who Deserve Better - We will never forget the "Benghazi Massacre" and the sooner we place Barry Obama and Hillary Clinton under House arrest for suspicion in breach of trust, treason in blatant lie shoulder to shoulder, this nation is being so misguided....

God Bless our once beloved Republic which is now in the hands of tyrant whose intent can best be described by the words of Frederick Douglass: "Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress" -

Excellent tour de horizon. What seems to be a worldwide phenomenon is that the slopes of all the economic growth potential curves have decreased or flattened out. The US is not experiencing a robust recovery from recession as it often has in the past. Europe has an even flatter growth function. And now many emerging market countries seem to be experiencing decreased growth for a variety of structural reasons.

But the reasons for the growth slowdown seem to be different from country to country, or region to region.

But almost everywhere it would seem that governments need to adjust the policy mix to aim towards higher potential growth by removing constraints, many of which are baked in politically. Tough work!

There is another set of structural issues. Chief among them are the twin issues of inequality and the specter of unemployment/underemployment. Growth needs a market that can spend. The huge concentration of wealth in the hands pf a few and debt forced on the many prevents this. The death spiral towards default is inevitable. Far better to redistribute the meaningless wealth of the minority to protect the stability of the system.

The unemployment situation is a consequence of high productivity. We can produce more with fewer people every year. Innovation will not stop. We need to share the work by lowering the working week, year or lifetime.

A serious structural crisis can be used to create a stable and sustainable world economy. It should be a more just one and a more equal one.

As FDI inflows become pervasive in emerging economies, any move to curb credit expansion will exacerbate real exchange appreciation, making domestic prices ever more expensive , affecting employment and growth. This much like Sir David Hume s Price Specie Flow Mechanism on the Dollar, Euro or Yen standard. Foreign Reserves are to an economy what glucose or sodium does to a human body. In the right dosage they nurture growth but too little or too much of it could prove deleterious and even deadly.

The growth of Emerging countries is taking a beating because they are currently affected by the current recession experienced by Western countries and United States. Though United States economy is recovering, the recovery is not even enough to help the middle class recover from the pre-recession status.
Remember that the middle class of United States and Europe is still the key and badly needed for the rest of the world to survive, recover and grow in a sustainable outcome. However, the middle class are not spending. That's because they are not making income. Because of that, China is trying to start a consumer-driven economy and add an additional 250 million population to sustain its growth. However, it is still not enough. That's because the other BRICS and other emerging economies is not doing the same.
The best solution for this global recession is to stimulate the middle class. That means the distribute of wealth must be a priority. The distribution of wealth must be sustainable. That's because we can't have 1% control the the 40% of the wealth. We can't have the 1% control the big pie. We can't have the 1% get all the riches and leave the middle class and the low class into obscurity, hardship and in ruins.
